    Summary

    “This is it,” Tom murmured, gesturing to the four of them. “For as long as we all want it to be. This is going to be our life. With or without the people who accept it.”

    They had always talked about forever in metaphors – the secret bookcase door or jokes about ending up in a retirement home together. But Tom had laid it out more clearly this time. Their life - together.


    Fear, rejection, panic and bad memories.

    Patience, vulnerability, growth and protection.


    Or, progress towards a life lived without metaphors.

    Summary

    The first February crept up on Sam.

    Not the first February ever, obviously. Not even the first one with them. But it was the first one with them and the change in emphasis made all the difference.


    On flowers, their secret meanings and a blossoming relationship.

    Summary

    Sometimes he thought back to how this all started, letting himself get caught up in that cliché of the way it came to pass – slowly at first and then all at once. There was that one show, small glances shared between them all. Then the bar afterwards, that shared sense that they were talking to the friends who had come to watch because they were forced to – when really they all wanted to be somewhere together, talking about whatever it was that had suddenly changed between them. After that, they’d spent the next two days together, holed up in Tom’s tiny London flat as if the rest of the world didn’t exist.


    Plane journeys, doubts, anxiety and sleepless nights.

    Home, trust, reassurance and self-discovery.


    Or, what happens when the rest of the world does exist.
